Jackals are members of the canine family, which means that they are related to wolves, dogs and coyotes. There are three members of the jackal family: the black-backed jackal and the side-striped jackal (both found in sub-Saharan Africa) and the golden jackal (found in northern Africa, southeastern and central Europe, the Middle East and southeast Asia). Jackals have a similar appearance to coyotes. They are known for their longs legs, which are suited for long distance running. This trait, coupled with their powerful jaw and canine teeth, makes them a formidable opportunistic predator. They are not usually pack animals and prefer to hunt in pairs or alone.
